In the thick of Telluride's autumn, with the paralyzing winter cold just around the corner, people tend to favor staying at home eating comfort food like French onion soup or a savory casserole over braving the falling temperatures to try a new restaurant.
But on an evening walk down Main Street in Telluride, you can't help but be lured in by the delicious scents emanating from Tequilas, Telluride's newest Mexican restaurant.
The decision to pick Tequilas is immediately justified when you enter the restaurant. Your senses are filled with the welcoming sounds, sights and smells of traditional, feel-good Mexican cuisine that makes Tequilas one of the best choices on a cold day in Telluride.
Warm and colorful, with Latin music playing from the speakers and a soft light illuminating the Mexican art and photography that adorns the walls. Smiling wait staff serve sizzling plates of beef, chicken and sides to hungry customers, and are always open to offering suggestions of side dishes.
You are quickly approached by one of Tequilas' friendly waitstaff. Your drink order is simple – you'll have the margarita. Mixed by Tequilas owner and chef Esperanza Reyes, this rich drink is a full-palate experience. The sour sting of the fresh-squeezed lime juice balances the gentle bite of the fiery Sauza, all punched up by orange-infused Gran Gala liqueur, Reyes' special ingredient.
A common pitfall in most margarita recipes is that the drink is often too sweet to enjoy, said Reyes. "The thing about margaritas is that the simpler your ingredients are, the better. This is just how I prefer them – not too sweet."
Once served, close your eyes, take a small sip from the straw and listen to the gentle music sounding from the speakers. After a minute with your eyelids closed, you'll believe yourself parked on a white, sandy beach, enjoying the calm oscillating wave breaks, far from the daily grind.
You snap out of the dream when the waiter approaches you, asking what you want now. If you're in the mood for beef, do yourself the favor of ordering the carne asada, Reyes' own recipe, and served with refried beans, rice and vegetables and fresh-ground guacamole. If you're feeling adventurous, order a chile relleno on the side to ensure. Hunger will not be an issue until the morning.
Skirt steak tends to be tricky to cook: too much heat for a tad too long, and you've got a chewy slab of shoe leather. But at Tequilas, Reyes, with nearly two decades experience of cooking this cut of meat, has found the sweet spot – cooked over charcoal, this tender steak fills your mouth with a blend of savory Mexican spices from her native Michoacán.
Midway through the meal, you'll notice that what makes Reyes' food – and the restaurant atmosphere special – is that you feel like you're eating a home cooked meal, made with care. You get the sense that the refried beans and rice recipes were passed down from the generations of the Reyes family – and they were.
Since each meal is served with house-made salsa and still-warm corn tortilla chips, the guacamole that accompanies the carne asada is a perfect finish to this rich meal of beef, cheese, bean and rice. But even if you're full after the meal, you'll find yourself scraping the last remaining traces of flavor with the tortilla shrapnel left over from the meal.
After paying the check and gathering your coat and hat, you may fear leaving Tequilas' cozy atmosphere to brave the wintery Telluride tundra. But thanks to that margarita and hearty meal, the shock of the cold is far less arduous. Now, it's home to spend the rest of the evening dozing off while reading on the couch.
Vibe: Casual, laid-back Latin atmosphere complete with calming Latin grooves over the speakers. Flying solo for lunch? Choose the bar for a quicker, less formal entree.
The drink: Whether you order it on a scorching summer day or in the nose-freezing winter, Tequilas' margarita is guaranteed to quench your thirst. Be sure to order the horchata at lunch.
Price point: $20 for one entrée and margarita.
What's good: Check out the enchiladas poblanas for a sweet, savory take on a classic Mexican dish. Looking to satisfy that frigid temperature-induced hunger? Go right for the carne asada and consider order a chile relleno on the side.
Open seven days a week, 11a.m. - 10p.m. Sunday - Thursday, and 11a.m. - 11p.m. Friday and Saturday

Hundreds of Shoppers Search for Early Morning Bargains
Submitted: 11/23/2012
- There was a sea of cars in the Kohl's parking lot at midnight as hundreds of shoppers rush to get an early morning bargain Friday.
While stores like Walmart opened at 8 p.m. last night, Kohl's customers had to wait until midnight Friday.
But many shoppers said the bargains were well worth the wait.
"We left the cabin at 8 a.m. and have been going all night," said Anna Mathy.
Jennifer Polzin said, "I think I saved a fair amount. I'm in college so I can't spend a lot." Over 350 people were in line at Kohl's Friday morning.
It took employees only 9 minutes to get the crowds into the store.
And once the store was packed, the shopping madness began.
Customer Service Supervisor, Karrie Caselton, said, "Some of the toys that go for like 60% off. We've got small electronics that go for really crazy prices. 60-70% off. A lot of traffic a lot of really good products."
Some customers even came in their pajamas.
And while many typically think it's the women who do all the shoppin--think again.
There were plenty of men packed into the store as well.
Taylor Cutting, said, "We're just trying to help her find some nice lingerie....keeping it real."
All Friday's early morning specials ended at 1 a.m.

text: AFBF Fights the Capital Gains Tax Hike AFBF submitted comments regarding the impending capital gains tax rate hike, which will increase from 15% to 20% next year. Published on: Sep 20, 2012 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print The American Farm Bureau Federation today submitted a statement to the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance Committee's joint hearing on tax reform, urging them to reform the capital gains tax because of its detriment to young and beginning farmers. AFBF's statement said that the tax makes it difficult for current farmers to pass the torch to a new generation. Capital gains taxes apply when land and buildings from a farm or ranch are transferred to a new or expanding farmer while the owner is still alive. This can occur when a farmer wants to expand his or her farm or ranch to take in a son or daughter, or when a retiring farmer sells his or her business to a beginning farmer.AFBF submitted comments regarding the impending capital gains tax rate hike, which will increase from 15% to 20% next year. "Since approximately 40 percent of farmland is owned by individuals age 65 or older, capital gains taxes provide an additional barrier to entry for young farmers and ranchers at a time when it is already difficult for them to get in to the industry," the statement said. "Capital gains tax liabilities encourage farmers to hold onto their land rather than sell it, creating a barrier for new and expanding farms and ranches to use that land for agricultural purposes." AFBF said this added cost also increases the likelihood that farm and ranch land will be sold outside of agriculture for commercial uses to investors who are willing to pay more, causing agricultural land and open space to be lost forever. The capital gains tax can hurt farmers because agriculture requires large investments in land and buildings that are held for long periods of time and account for 76% of farmers' assets, according to the AFBF. Further, they report, 40% of all farmers report some capital gains; nearly double the share for all taxpayers. And the average amount of capital gains reported by farmers is about 50% higher than the average capital gain reported by other taxpayers. "Because capital gains taxes are imposed when buildings, breeding livestock and land are sold, it is more costly for producers to shed unneeded assets to generate revenue to adapt, expand and upgrade their operations," the statement said. "This is neither good for the long-term prosperity of farm and ranch operations or for the rural economies their operations help sustain." The top capital gains tax rate will increase by a third on the first of the year, from 15% to 20%. AFBF supports a permanent extension of the 15% rate.

i LOVED SOMEONE FROM THREE YEARS. I LOVED HIM FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. I ASKED HIM AGAIN AND AGAIN TO GET MARRIED BUT HE ALWAYS SAID MY PARENTS DONT AGREE EVEN IT IS A FACT THAT HE NVR HAD GUTS TO TALK TO HIS PARENTS. I DID THE MISTAKE OF HAVING SEX WITH HIM. BUT I SWEAR TO ALLAH PAK THAT I NEVER WANTED SEXUAL RELATION WITH HIM.BUT HE ALWAYS SAID THAT I SWEAR TO ALLAH LA ILAHA ILLALLA MUHAMMADUR RASULULLAH I WILL MARRY YOU. I BEGGED HIM THAT DIONT DO SEX WITH ME. BUT I WAS FORCED TO DO SO. EVEN WHEN I WAS 5 YEARS OLD MY UNCLE(MY MOTHER'S BROTHER) SEXUALLY HARASSED ME FOR 2 YEARS. SINCE THEN I WAS BADLY BADLY ADDICTED TO MASTURBATION. AND I WEEP SO MUCH AFTER DOING MASTURBATION. I TRY SO HARD SO HARD TO GET AWAY FRON THIS BUT I CANNOT DO ANYTHING. WHEN LAST RAMZAN STARTED(2012) I AGAIN ASKED HIM THAT I DONT WANT TO DO ZANA AS THIS IS KABIRA SIN SO I WANT TO GET MARRIED. AND HE JUST SAID LA ILAHA ILLALLA MUHAMMADUR RASULULLAH MY FAMILY IS MAKING MY RELATIONSHP WITH SOME GIRL I CANT MARRY U. I WAS SO BROKEN THAT I STOPPED TALKING TO HIM. I DIDNT TALK TO HIM FOR THE MONTH OF RAMADAN. AND ON EID HE STARTED CALLING ME AGAIN, HE PUT TOHMAT ON ME THAT U CALL PEOPLE IN UR HOME AND DO SEX WITH MANY MEN. MY MOTHER KNEW THAT I LIKED HIM. I PUT MY HAND ON THE QURAN PAK AND SWEARD THAT IT IS A LIE I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING. BUT HE DIDNT LISTEN, HE CALLED MY BROTHER AND SAID TO HIM THAT UR SISTER IS DOING SEX WITH SOMEONE. SHE GOES TO DIFFERENT HOTELS. NO ONE TRUSTED ME. NOW IM SO DEPRESSED I HATE MY BODY THAT WHY I WAS SO WEAK TO LISTEN TO HIM AND HAVE SEX. I WEEP EVERY TIME AND MY BODY DOES NOT HAVE ANY ENERGY. I SHIVER ALL THE TIME. I HAVE DONE TOBAH TO Allah but i dont know what TO DO? I WEEP SO MUCH THAT MY EYES ARE HURTING ALLTHE TIME. I DONT KNOW WHY ALLAH DOES NOT PUNISH HIM FOR DOING ALL THIS TO ME? WHAT SHOULD I DO?I PRAY 5 TIMES AND ALSO DO TASBIH ALL THE TIME. BUT MY PAIN IS NOT DECREASING. THERE IS NO SINGLE MOMENT WHEN I DONT THINK ABOUT HIM. I STILL LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I CALLED HIM I BEGGED HIM THAT PLZ COME BACK TO ME BUT HE IS NOW HAVING ANOTHER GF AND HE JUST SAID YOU ARE A PROSTITUTE YOU ARE A DIRTY WOMEN. PLZ HELP ME WHAT SHOULD I DO TO FORGET HIM?WHEN WILL ALLAH PUNISH THAT ANIMAL?WHY NOTHING BAD HAPPENED TO MY UNCLE WHO TOOK MY VIRGINITY?WHY IS MY LIFE LIKE THIS?plz i cant bear this pain
Your uncle that harassed you will be punished by Allah In life and at judgment day. His sin will be not a crime of sexual sin but even more
The hell your living is your own hell. How can you love someone still when he clearly just wanted you for pleasure.
Move on. And give your heart to Allah. And you will find no more need or urge to love him.
Repent tobah and pray for Allah's forgiveness. For he is forgiving.
And most important thank Allah and be grateful everyday that you are still well and still able to ask forgiveness.
Lost hope in life and people ? Doesn't matter. Dont loose hope in Allah. If you ask why Allah doesn't punish him ? Don't!
Because Allah will punish him and no deed evil or good goes unseen by Allah. If you asked for towbah then why did you call him back and ask him to take you. Remember rzq (wealth) and naseeb (marriage) was written by Allah on every Muslim before they were even born.
Be patient. The longer you are ... the greater your reward.
Except any human being to hurt you or use you. But Allah will never hurt you. He knows what's best for you.

my sister,my fried,salaam aleekom.first of all,i admire u for having born in a muslim home.i realy realy admire that and i wish i was born in such myself.second,about your boyfriend or let me say your ex boyfriend,do not let your feelings control u,give your life to allah,he knows whats best for u.who knows maybe he has prepared something better for u than that boyfriend u are crying over.seek first the kingdom of allah and everything else will be given to u.remember every good gift comes from allah.i have lost my friends,am about to lose my job because of my new religion(islam),but i dont care because i love and fear allah now.dont wish for worldly things,everything that happens in your life was ordainned by allah so pleaseeeeeeeeee my sister forget about that man,and pray for him,dont wish bad lucky for him.peace of advice NEVER EVER EVER OPEN YOUR LEGS FOR ANY MAN EXCEPT YOUR HUSBAND,dont open your legs for your hands to MASTURBATE.HARAM
Excuse me did you say
You did wrong with yourself with your choice and now asking Allah to punish him for you? Girl are you confused or what?
And as far as you are praying 5 times a day, I want to tell you that these are obligatory prayers. And you pray for your own good and your prayers give nothing to Allah except your obedience. Prayers only make you a Muslim, prayers are not the only thing a muslim should do. Have someone told you that when you prostrate in front of Allah you make a promise that you will submit yourself to Allah, meaning you will do things what Allah told you and you will not do haram things yet you still love the same guy. Girl you are not sincere to yourself and that's why your pain is not decreasing.
I got it what you want, you know completely what you have done and I think you know the punishment for your this sin and now you want Allah to not punish you? And you pray for these reasons,
And you only blame your Evil Uncle that because of he, you started masturbation and this is all due to him, you think your evil uncle is responsible for whatever bad happened in your life.
I pray that your evil uncle will surely taste pain, in this life and in hereafter. This is my only sympathy with you but for the rest you are responsible.
Now what is the cure for your pain?
Answer: Honestly its very hard but as far as my knowledge, 100 lashes is the only cure and surely after that you can say to yourself "now I am free and forgiven" then you can re-start your life, free from the punishment of this sin. I would advice you to discuss this with a Female Alima, who doesn't know you or your family and friends and lives away from your home. And ask her to purify you, meaning ask for 100 lashes. That's it
I don't know you girl but as far as you call yourself a human and Muslim, I really pray from the bottom of my heart that you will not have to feel the pain in hereafter.

listen, you have to be strong , dont tell anyone about it, but keep it a lesson for you that in the future dont fall easy for men,and dont do it again. from your story i guess he didnt care about you, he just said it to have sex with you, and he knows for sure that if you did, you cant do anything.... I blame your uncle because i almost have the same story. just be smart for next time, if a guy told you that he care about you it doesnt mean he really care about you, dont care about about any people because its a waste of time.
Salaam... Wow your goin thru alot! Ill tell you abit about myself... I fell in so called LOVE with a guy, a very practising guy who respects women alotttt! These 2 things actually made me love him... Life seemed perfect and we wanted to get married... He wanted to engage in haram activities and i was like whattt this is not what i thought u was! However, time went on and we coz close not phyiscally just got to know each other alot more... I wanted to marry him and slowly i realised he isnt what he seems... He literly changed so much well i guess thats how he was and i got to see his real side! I cried sooooooo much!! Life felt like hell... Just a few weeks ago i commented on a blog and realised that i was crying over a guy who isnt even worth it! Also, i was acting like what is happening with me Allah and what did i actually do... I spoke to him which is haraam and yet i was asking Allah why this is happening to me and why the guy is not being punished... Why do we do haraam and say why is this happening to us!!!! 2 weeks ago i began praying tahajud and i cried and asked Allah for forgivness and asked Allah to change my heart as in i dont even think about that guy... 2 days i prayed tahajud and i hardly ever think about him!!! What your going thru is not easy and me and everyone saying do this and that, its easy for us to say but to actually take it on board can b veryy difficult! But trust me its worth it! I didnt go thru what you did but i understand! Dont call ur ex and watch he will realise he did a bigg mistake!! But dont go back to him bcoz hes not worth it! Pray to Allah truely from the heart and watch everything becoming soo goood! Life is really short and sometimes we forget our purpose of life... Sometimes our problems feel like hell but what we dont realise is that the activities we are actually doing r taking us to hell and that hell is not even a 1% of what this so called hell is... I really hope this helps!!! May Allah guide you inshAllah... Tc

The Arc of Human Rights Priorities: A New Model for Managing Business Risk
The Arc of Human Rights Priorities is a new approach to in-company human rights management. The Arc builds upon the Sphere of Influence concept and is designed to allow companies to focus their resources on the most urgent human rights issues in their operations.

These dimensions allow companies to identify the human rights risks with the greatest impact and the most direct company responsibility. The Arc exercise identifies 'high-priority' issues for each company, including a graphic representation of the company's human rights profile. This prioritization allows companies to monitor, prevent and mitigate the most urgent issues, as well as find opportunities for the greatest positive impact.

For only one of the four 4A basketball programs in the Rail City, the undefeated Reed girls, the postseason looks like a sure thing. But for the Spanish Springs girls and Reed and Spanish Springs boys teams, they will need strong second-half pushes to make the playoffs.
The Cougar boys are in the best position of the three, sitting at 4-4 in league play. The SSHS girls are next best at 3-5, while the Reed boys are only 2-6.
"Obviously we need to get better. Now we have to get over that hump and start winning some of these games," Reed boys basketball coach Dustin Hall said. "We've had some close ones that could have gone either way, but we couldn't quite get them. We have to continue to improve and learn how to win some of these close games."
Each team has had to play a new league schedule this year. The High Desert League and Sierra League schools each play each other once with those games counting toward their league records.
Coaches are pretty much in agreement that they like playing teams from the other league, but the timing and the fact they count toward their league record isn't ideal for numerous reasons.
"I still have the same stance. I don't mind that we have to play the crossover games. I just wish they didn't count," SSHS girls basketball coach Christine Eckles said. "We just don't have a lot of time to work on stuff. If you wanted to work on something and maybe take a loss just to get some work in on something, it wouldn't have been as important as it is now. Now, you have to be ready to play every game and every game is going to matter."
Every team was put in the same position, jumping right into the league schedule. Still, not every team entered the season in the same position. The Cougar boys had to figure out what type of style they wanted to play due to the addition of two big men transfers that gave the team a new weapon.
Because of those questions entering the season, Spanish Springs had to figure it out on the run with games counting from Opening Night.
"It hasn't changed the way I approach coaching or what we do. Obviously it changes the importance factor of the games early on," SSHS boys basketball coach Kyle Penney said. "You're playing league games with not a lot of experience. That makes a huge difference because you've got to win those games, which may come down to a tiebreaker. You don't know how truly important those early games will be until all is said and done. For us, we're kind of behind the upper echelon programs, so that's a great time for us to gain some ground, but we're not able to do that."
Hall agreed that he liked the crossover games in order to gauge the teams from the other side. In years past, you had to wait until the playoffs to see which side truly was better but now there will be no surprises when the postseason rolls around. He also echoed the other coaches' sentiments that he didn't like playing league games in November and early December.
Teams start the second half of the league season Friday night. Reed is hosting North Valleys, while Spanish Springs is on the road against Hug.

By BETTY ADAMS Kennebec Journal
James Cameron was ordered back to Maine from New Mexico on Tuesday, two days after the U.S. Marshals Service ended his 17-day flight across the country.
James Cameron's booking photo, from the Sandoval County Detention Center in New Mexico.
Contributed photo
The order came after Cameron, of Rome, Maine, in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque, N.M., waived his right to an identity hearing and any preliminary or detention hearing in New Mexico, and requested those hearings be held in Maine.
Cameron fled Maine in the wee hours of the morning Nov. 15, hours after a court upheld most of his child pornography convictions. Before he fled, he told his family he was going back to prison.
The marshals service said in a prepared statement that Cameron did not dispute he was the person named in a warrant for his arrest on bail violation charges.
Noel March, U.S. marshal for the District of Maine, said Tuesday afternoon he doesn't know when Cameron will return to the state.
"That will be told to us after he's completed all his hearings; and whenever that process is concluded in New Mexico, we're going to hear that from the court," March said.
He also said whatever charges Cameron may face arising from his flight across the country haven't been determined, but the U.S. attorney's office is looking into it.
"We'll know more, all of us, in the weeks ahead," March said.
Tuesday morning's one-minute hearing before Magistrate Judge Robert Hayes Scott was part of the process of returning Cameron to Maine to face the bail violation charge.
In court Tuesday, Cameron signed his name to the waiver above that of federal public defender Stephen McCue, who was appointed to represent Cameron in proceedings in New Mexico. McCue did not return a call seeking comment.
Cameron, 50, a former top drug prosecutor in Maine, was convicted in August 2010 of child pornography charges. He cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet and fled Maine on Nov. 15 in his 1999 tan Audi.
He was arrested Sunday morning, coming out of a bathroom at an Albuquerque video and book store.
Cameron is charged with violating bail by fleeing Maine in the wake of a court ruling upholding his convictions on seven child pornography charges. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, in a decision issued Nov. 14, reversed convictions on six other counts and sent the case back for resentencing or a new trial, if the government chose to do that.
Cameron had been free pending his appeal and faced the prospect of returning to federal prison where he had already served a year. Cameron was sentenced to 16 years in prison on the 13 crimes involving child pornography.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Donald Clark, who was one of the prosecutors at Cameron's trial on child pornography charges, said federal rules specify that Cameron must be brought back before the judicial officer who ordered Cameron released.
In this case, that's U.S. District Court Judge John A. Woodcock Jr. Clark said he expects the court to schedule a hearing in Bangor on the motion to revoke bail once Cameron is returned to the state.
"Bail can be revoked or a contempt proceeding could be brought, as in any case in which an order of the court is violated," Clark said.
Neither Clark nor March would say whether Cameron's laptop, which was missing from his home in Rome, was found when he was caught. The court used the laptop to monitor him as a condition of his release.
In the government's motion seeking to revoke bail and to get an arrest issued, Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Murphy said Cameron and his car were gone when authorities checked his Rome residence at 10:30 a.m. Nov. 15.
That was almost nine hours after Cameron's electronic monitoring device indicated an unauthorized departure from his Rome residence. Cameron left his cellphone behind.

Urocyon cinereoargenteus (gray fox)
Gray fox tracks in sand. The front track is on the right and the hind track is on the left in this photo. Front track is larger. The hind track appears skinnier. The claw marks are far ahead of the toes, indicating fairly long claws. The gray fox is the only canine that can climb trees. Perhaps these long claws help it climb.

In case there was an office pool, it was 89 days. 89 Days before I missed a day posting our breakfast pics. And it wasn't because my Illinois counterpart didn't get a photo to me, because she did. It was all me.
Most of the time when I talk about the passage of time, I have this simultaneous sensation that time is speeding by while also taking a really {really} long time. But not with this project. With this project I can't believe that it's only been three months: it feels like a lot longer. With that said, I'm not getting free samples of any breakfast cereal in the mail yet, so maybe I haven't been doing this long enough (hint, hint Cascadian Farms, Barabara's, Mom's Best, Kashi, Quaker Oats, Nature's Path, Noosa, Chobani....).
Some observations over the last month:
- There was a fair bit of traveling last month. I don't know about the IL crew, but when I'm not at home it's really hard for me to remember to take photos. Take Day 80, for example: this was a complete afterthought. "Oh right, breakfast!"
- I've been pretty happy with my ability in initiate and stick to our "not having the same breakfast two days in a row" rule (I use rule loosely). The kids have been willing participants and although they've not utter the phrase "Mom! I can't have oatmeal again today because I had that yesterday," they have only asked for the same thing a couple times this month, which I consider improvement. (It was not uncommon for "cereal" to be their answer many days in a row before.)
- Illness sucks. We each dealt with stomach bugs this past month and I hope that is a first and last for all of us!
- Eating happens in the same place everyday for us. I've not put a lot of thought into what this means for the habits we're creating - I think having a place to eat is better than roaming the house with food in hand in terms of a habit - but I think it would be really nice to occasionally eat outside. Or on the kitchen floor (on plates and with silverware, of course). Something to mix it up a bit. Although, to be fair it has been the coldest winter on the books around here so maybe once the weather (finally) warms up we can take breakfast outside.
As we embark on Month 4 of this little experiment tell me: are you tired of seeing what breakfast is like in our house yet? Is anyone interested in sharing their experience with us? {Please?!}

Tin Melting Front
Model ID: 6234
This example demonstrates how to model phase transition by a moving boundary interface according to the Stefan problem. A square cavity containing both solid and liquid tin is submitted to a temperature difference between left and right boundaries. Fluid and solid parts are solved in separate domains sharing a moving melting front. The position of this boundary through time is calculated according to the Stefan energy balance condition. In the melt, motion generated by natural convection is expected due to the temperature gradient. This motion, in turn, influences the front displacement.
This model was built using the following:Heat Transfer Module

Analyst: Apple's U.S. consumer market share now 21 percentApril 1, 2008: 8:46 AM ET
The iPhone gets the most press and the iPod sells in the largest quantities, but it's the Macintosh that really drives Apple's growth, says Gene Munster.
In the second installment of a multipart report on Apple's "3 Cylinder Engine," Piper Jaffray's chief Apple (AAPL) analyst looks at the Mac business over the next couple of years and likes what he sees. In particular:
- Growth: After Apple introduced the Intel Macs, Mac sales grew 37% in 2007, more than double the industry-wide rate of 15%. Munster is modeling 2.0 to 2.1 million Macs for the March quarter (vs. the Street's 1.95 million). He believes Apple will continue to outpace its competitors with upgraded iMacs and Mac minis in the next 3 months and redesigned MacBooks and MacBook Pros in time for the '08 education season.
- Market Share: According to IDC, Apple's worldwide market share grew from 2.4% in 2006 to 2.9% in 2007. (See chart below.) Munster is conservatively modeling global market share to remain flat this year, but he notes that enterprise sales account for 70% of the worldwide market, a segment Apple is not aggressively targeting. In the consumer market, where Apple does compete, he estimates the Mac's share is now 10% worldwide and an impressive 21% in the U.S.
- Sales Price: While Apple has gained market share over the past three years, it has also been able to resist the industry trend of decreasing sales prices. In fact, it actually increased its average sales price (ASP) by more than $150 from December '05 to December '07. "The combination of increasing ASPs and rising market share is evidence of a compelling product line," writes Munster.
One more thing: although consumers and investors tend to believe Macs cost 20% to 30% more than comparable PCs, according to Munster, he did some price comparisons and found that on average, the price difference is closer to 16% for desktop machines and 9% for laptops -- essentially unchanged from a similar comparison he made two years ago. Details in the charts below the fold.

Neighborhoods: Mission, Central East
I Am Leaving: Don't Bother – Here's another review about the horrible service.
I didn't get to try the food because I walked out.
I came on a moderately busy Sunday afternoon...There were a good number of tables open.
I said hello to the hostess and sat down at the bar.
I waited for a very long time for someone to acknowledge me and give me a menu..
The "bartender" was 4 feet away.
After a long wait, I got a menu and reviewed it.
I sat for a long time for someone to take my order, but that never happened.
They then, started blasting music, which could be heard half way down the sidewalk celebrating someone's birthday...
I took that as an opportunity to leave.
There are alot of outstanding resturants in SF, so don't waste your time going there.
With all the bad reviews about the service, you would think the owners would clean house and get the picture.
Horrible service and overly expensive food – Let?s talk about service. I arrived right at noon and the place was already pretty full. There were only two open tables, and eventually a young man indicated I should take one of the two remaining tables. I sat down and waited. And waited. After about ten minutes, the man who had seated me and two other servers came over, not to wait on me, but to sit at the table next to me at the height of the lunch hour. The original guy (who turned out to be the manager), looked over and saw me and it was clear that he?d forgotten to tell anyone I was there. He found a server, who came with water and a menu and assured me that she would be right back. During my twenty-five minute wait for her to come back to take my order I was able to observe the meeting occurring at the table next to me. The manager and two employees came out, sat down and had a kumbaya love session. The manager spent time singling out each employee ? ?You bring me energy because of your smiles and your great hats.? Meeting ended with the manager placing his hands on each employees? shoulders, looking them in the eye, then giving them a hug and the exhortation, ?let?s take care of some customers!? During this entire time, I had been sitting there about two feet away, clearly waiting for someone to take my order. During this entire time (absolute height of lunch hour), potential customers came in, saw all of the tables full and no one to wait on them and left. And the most astounding thing ? having just spent nearly half an hour taking the time of three employees and an entire table in a tiny restaurant during lunch hour ? about five minutes later the manager came over with two different employees and did the whole thing again.
The bill was over $35 for not a huge amount of food, one person, no alcohol, which was ridiculous although the food was good. But mostly these folks need to spend less time being selfish and more time being selfless.
"I AM DISAPPOINTED" Avoid this place! – I recently met some friends here for lunch. My boyfriend and I are both lifelong vegetarians and have our fair share of bad vegetarian food. Cafe Gratitude takes the prize. The customer service was horrible. I am a former server myself so I understand how mistakes can be made but this was unacceptable. I ordered a salad and was told ten minutes after placing my order that the kitchen was "out of salad". Another ten minutes passed before my server returned to take a replacement order. Meanwhile, my friends all received their food and I was left waiting. Random servers continued to ask me if I needed to place an order and one even returned to tell me they could make my salad without the pears (after I had placed my second order). Why wouldn't they have just told me they were out of pears? Why tell me they were "out of salad" and make me order something else? When my enchiladas finally arrived, somewhere a Mexican was shedding a tear. It was as if they just dumped cayenne pepper on them to make up for the bland ingredients. I love spice, but this was horrible. Everyone at my table agreed. The only good part of this restaurant was the ginger-ale. Outrageously priced at $15 for two glasses "I am effervescent" quickly became "I am poor". Avoid this place! Support a veggie chef and business that has evolved past the brown, crunchy earth patties that give health food a bad name.
Best healthy restaurant, great service – This a wonderful place to eat for anyone interested in healthy food, but especially for anyone who has any dietary-health restrictions like me! The service was friendly and helpful. After reading the other reviews, I was expecting a long wait for the food but I was pleasantly surprised. It came within 5 minutes of ordering.
Michael, our waiter, came to our table immediately. He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the restaurant's menu. By carefully checking the recipe's ingredients, he helped me make a great choice.
My food choice, a delicious spring roll with Thai sauce called 'I am Insightful, had a nice presentation and was really good. The desert, key-lime pie, was heavenly. They offered a sample of two cold drinks, ?I am Grace? was our favorite.
I enjoyed my experience so much that I purchased their recipe book, "I am Grateful" and plan to try the other location today.
I would recommend sitting at the front or middle of the restaurant, not in the rear by the cold-foods.
Worst Customer Service – The owners of Cafe Gratitude need to improve customer service. I have gotten take out from the Harrison Street location numerous times... and each time I have to wait and wait and wait. I pre-order by phone so I don't have to wait and inevitably it takes 15 minutes for the staff to pack up my meal and get me out the door. Today at 11am there were very few customers and it took the staff forever to bag my order. Two staffers were eating at the bar, another sitting on the steps and another sitting down at a table. One server was on the floor and also trying to oversee the to go area. This is unacceptable. The staff needs to pick up the pace and realize some of us don't have tons of time... we need to get in and out. For the price you pay.. this place is not worth it. The staff is definitely not attentive and in dire need of some serious training.
Fabulous food, terrible service – The tasty vegan food at Cafe Gratitude is hard to beat - wonderful flavors made with fresh, organic ingredients, beautifully presented. The problem comes in getting the food to the table. On repeated visits over the past three or four months, we were approached with friendly smiles by two or three wait-persons. All seemed eager to help us choose from the wonderful menu (recently redesigned). We ordered appetizers, salads, entrees, beverages. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. It took a good half-hour to get a glass of wine. Another half hour for the appetizers. Another half-hour for the salads. And yet another half-hour for the entrees. While I believe in a gracious, continental pacing of my meals, this was ridiculous. On other occasions I have gone to Gratitude just for dessert. Again, a good half-hour for a simple piece of pie. There is no excuse for lousy service. Food is an easy 4 stars. Service is the worst I have experienced in San Francisco, or anywhere else. If you have less than 2 hours to spend dining, you had best take your business elsewhere.
Good Food. Service is wack. – Food was good and unique. service was bad and unique. they forgot to process the order so we sat for 30-45mns with our tea and beer (beer was awesome) before someone said "wait were you getting food?" and it wasnt even our server whom never came back to the table after the error and never said sorry as well thought it was busy when only 6 people (including myself) were eating. had to go back to the meter 2 times. but the people were overall very nice. the food was very good as well... got the "i am fabulous" lasagne for those foreign to the joint. either way... i wouldent go back. maybe because when your there you on cafe gratitude time not yours and there are so many other better places in the area IE Naan n curry, plutos, park chows, sushi bars etc. also goodearth is across the street and they too are healthy and only take like 10mns.
The Food Will Inspire You, But The Service Will Not...;o) – Last year I decided do to my first fast which required that I eat nothing but Vegan food for most if not all of my meals. This lasted for a month. I went on this 4-week program relying on "Healthforce" nutritional products for both intestinal cleansing and nutritional needs. As a result, I found myself eating at Cafe Gratitude for many of my dinners and the occasional breakfast. I'm a carnivore by nature, and continue to eat meat, but like the idea of mixing in food that is in its' purest form into my monthly diet. I certainly found it here at Cafe Gratitude. What I found most appealing was their ability to create amazing recipes that actually taste amazing, even to the most selective of palates. I usually order the "I'm Graceful" or "I'm Elated", and combine that with their somosas appetizer or hummus. The atmosphere is also very pleasant, and the energy is extremely welcoming. The only gripe that I have about this place is what appears to be at times the "clueless ness" of the wait staff. There have been instances where I've ordered take out, and someone forgot to process the order with the kitchen! This can be extremely aggravating if you're someone like me that has a low tolerance threshold for service errors. There was also an instance with a large dinner party I was with. Someone had taken our order, and forgot to send it to the kitchen! They realized this 30 minutes into the night. We ended up having to wait over an hour to be served. Sometimes you just have to take this in strides. The people are so nice that it's hard to put your mean face on. My theory is that a good chunk of their staff probably did LSD back in the day, and may encounter flash backs from time to time. So you want to call back a second time when ordering take out, or watch your waiter or waitress attentively after they take your order. In some cases your orders may get lost...;o) Aside from the unpredictable service, I recommend the cafe highly.
Love it and I'm not a vegetarian (or anywhere close to a vegan) – A wonderful spot. I go there about twice a month and I'm not a mission hipster, not an artist and don't work for a non-profit. I bathe daily and I absolutely love this place. I feel healthy and satisfied everytime I leave. The desserts are awesome. With so much obesity in this country more people should learn about this way of eating, even if it doesn't become a lifestyle. Service is spacey and a little strange... For example, when I came with 4 people, there wasn't seating immediately available. That's ok. We were on Cafe Gratitude time, but the staff didn't really seem to know what to do. There was one group ahead of us and then another group came in. It took about 3 staff members to figure out they should make a list, as if they had never done this before... (I guess this is a collaborative approach?) There were a few seats at the 'bar' so I told the hostest/waitress person that we were going to try one of the organic beers while we waited. This also seemed totally foreign to them. I guess nobody just comes for a beer at their bar. The hostest was very confused. She seemed to consult 4 other people and then said, "ok , but can you pay separately at the bar and at the table?" Of course, I wouldn't dare attempt further confusing the cute staff already high on organic extracts and power juices.... You have to go for the experience and the unique food, not a dinner which will get you in and out in 20 minutes.
Decent food, bad service – So their whole philosophy about being present and 'grateful' is fine and good, but the service sure needs some help. The servers wander around the restaurant looking confused, food is left sitting (I know, it's not like it gets cold) for a while before someone decides to bring it over, they mess up orders and forget to bring things on a regular basis. You can't really get mad at them because they're so quasi-hippy-spiritual and somewhat apologetic that there's really nothing you can do about their abysmal service standards.
That being said, the food is just OK in my book, the smoothies and juices are great, but everything else just seems to be different combinations of the same ingredients: nuts, flax, and more nuts.

Siemens Industry announces distribution agreement with solar microinverter company
Siemens Industry, Inc. and Enphase Energy Inc. have signed an agreement in which Enphase will provide Siemens with solar microinverters and a web-based monitoring service in order to create turnkey solar photovoltaic energy solutions.
Siemens Industry, Inc. and Enphase Energy Inc. announced a supply and distribution agreement for the sale of Enphase's next generation of solar microinverter technology through the Siemens nationwide network of electrical equipment distributors. According to the agreement, Enphase will provide Siemens with solar microinverters and Enlighten, a web-based monitoring service to create turnkey solar photovoltaic (PV) energy solutions.
The Enphase Microinverter System provides a modular, scalable platform to connect roof-mounted solar PV modules with a typical building's alternating current (AC) load center or panel board. Enphase microinverters offer a simple and compelling solution to complex system implementation problems and safety issues associated with the direct current (DC) output of today's solar PV modules, according to Siemens. Electrical contractors will have expanded access to the technologies and tools they need to deliver these systems to their commercial and residential customers.
By providing innovative per-module microinverter technology that dramatically simplifies system design and installation time, Enphase aims to remove the technical barriers that have traditionally limited the growth of solar PV in commercial and residential applications. This combined with Siemens' power distribution and circuit protection technologies will reportedly ensure the growing demand for renewable energy is met with a solar system that remains safe, cost-effective and reliable throughout its lifetime.

Rolando McClain's Slam Recalls Kevin Harlan
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
"…With no regard for human life!"
I'm not sure what Danny Amendola did to draw the ire of McClain, besides having he audacity to catch the ball over the middle, but one thing's for sure, McClain ain't having it.
While the slam has indeed made the highlight reels here, there and everywhere, I doubt Tom Cable wants his defense getting those kinds of 15-yard penalties on a regular basis, if at all. Cable just might punch McClain in the jaw if that happens again.
Fortunately for McClain, his powerbomb didn't affect the outcome of the game; although, the Raiders probably shouldn't be surprised by the hard slam: McClain has already made it known he wants to be Darth Vader.

Your salad looks delicious. I really need to try Lewes now that I'm all grown up. My only memories of it were killing time on Second Street and Front Street waiting for the Ferry. Gosh, I how hated our twice every summer trips on the ferry to Cape May. But I am sure I'd love them now.
